The Vixen Diaries: Chapter 1 "Introduction"

"Money was getting tough, and the only jobs I could secure was fast food and service industry jobs, but that was bullshit compared to the life I was accustomed to living. Between the hotel, car note, TiSean, putting money on Trevis's books, and TiSean's baby sitter, the money I touched disappeared as soon as I got it. I was down bad, and I had to make something shake, and by something shake--I meant this ass."

Join the story told by the perspective of Shawna Richards, a voluptuous yet relentless vixen. This story takes place on the deep south side of Atlanta, GA, in the scorching heat of Summer 2022. From the outside looking in, Shawna had it all together. She was in a loving relationship with her boyfriend, Trevis, while taking care of their beautiful, bouncing baby boy. Suddenly, Shawna is caught blindsided as everything comes crashing down as Trevis is snatched out of Shawna's and TiSean's lives for the next decade. Shawna is forced into a corner with what seems like her only solution--exotic dancing. Shawna is submerged into a completely new world that takes her on a series of twists and turns enough to make any simple woman retch. Shawna is forced to take matters into her own hands as she navigates through life without the one who protected her most.

"Dear God, if you are there--listening, just hear me out this one time. I'm lost and I don't know where to go. I'm confused, but I know that I have to keep pressing for my son. If you get me out of this mess, I don't know what I'll do, but whatever you ask of me I will do it. Am I perfect? No. Consistent and hardworking? Absolutely. I don't know what I did wrong to get here, but God, please, just reroute my path."
